There was a time where we had a channel on the boob tube that played nothing but music videos. Sadly this station is now overrun with reality shows and the like. This is our quest to return to the times where we got money for nothing and chicks were practically free.
Ménage à Twang is a Brooklyn-based, all-girl, comic country trio that blends lovely three part harmonies with razor sharp wit, acoustic guitars with an anti-depressant pill bottle shaker, and camp irony with a genuine love for folk music. In the spirit of trios gone before—notably the Dolly, Emmy Lou, and Linda collaboration, the Dixie Chicks, and, of course, Destiny’s Child— the Ménage’s debut album, available at www.cdbaby.com/menageatwang, delivers songs that address the unique challenges that fabulous ladies face when navigating big city life. Whether they are lamenting a soul-sucking day job, cursing their tiny shared studio apartment, celebrating a successful one night stand, or calling friends out on their secret conservative side, Ménage’s songs will move you. Or make you want to move out of the metropolitan area.
Ménage à Twang is made up of Emily Moore, a published poet and high school teacher, Jessica Del Vecchio, a feminist scholar and former music biz dayjobber, and Rachel Levy, a television producer, photographer and bad-ass baker.
Thanks to our faithful reader arugala who brought this to our attention!
We wrote a review about the Chemical Brothers recently and mentioned an ambitious video project for every track off the album. Here's one that I think is particularly awesome.
My opinion? If you haven't purchased the entire audio/visual package for Further...maybe you really should.
Polo Club is the culmination of two years of touring the world as a cohesive unit. “We wanted to focus on working within the band itself and making a record that showcases what we do live.” says James Curd. “When we sat down and thought of how we wanted the new record to sound we all agreed it would be fun to use Lotion as our starting point. We kept telling ourselves, ‘More Guitars!’” The end result is a collection of songs that perfectly captures the insane genius and singular sound of the Greenskeepers.

I'm very excited to show you the official video for The Apples in stereo's song "Dance Floor," which features Elijah Wood and will make extra sense if you've seen the short film The Apples did with Elijah.
I haven't seen the short films, but I still enjoyed the video, as well as the song. In fact, I've been previewing the new album, Travelers In Space and Time, and I am really enjoying it. I suggest you pick it up when it gets released on April 20. That's right. You got something to listen to while you partake in 420 day! Puff Puff Pass.
Grammy Award winners Ok Go is made up of Kulash (vocals and guitar), Tim Nordwind (bass guitar and backing vocalist), Dan Konopka (drums and percussion), and Andy Ross (keyboards, guitar and backing vocals).
The video below for “This Too Shall Pass” features a two-story Rube Goldberg machine that the band spent four months building with SynnLabs, a team of creative engineers from NASA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Rube Goldberg Machine is an overly complicated machine to do one small task.
1. I will gladly take any mp3/video down that any artist or anyone associated with them asks me to take down. Send an email to: inallcaps at gmail.com
2. If the mp3/video has been posted elsewhere, I will just link to it. No need to post it twice.
3. I believe that I am introducing my readers to music that they'll like and the result will be more music sales. If I felt otherwise, I wouldn't be doing it. I buy music and I think you should too.
To sum it up: If you are an artist or scary lawyer type and want something removed from here, just email us and it's gone! We're easy like that!
